Neither did Leona, and she was just average in week 1.

I did like Rachel though, its a shame she never got the backing.

Yeah, but Leona had the backing of Simon which is really crucial. The other thing is that I don't think the public want another singer like Leona or Alexandra. They're looking for something different.

Not at first she didn't, at the start Simon thought Ashley was going to win and expected Leona to leave in the middle stages

I agree they'll be looking for something different and Rachel could have actually been that, but to the retarded voters shes a black female singer with a big voice therefore shes in the same box as Alex and Leona ...
